  1. A Bronze Age barrow in Suffolk sat empty for 2,000 years. Then Romans enclosed it, built a painted shrine beside it, and buried six pig skulls facing east. Nobody knows which god. #RomanBritain #Archaeology #BronzeAge anthropology.net/p/six-pig-sku

  2. @thesweetcheat maybe you meant to say #bronzeAge ⬆️ with an 'e' after the 'z' ?

  5. #FindsFriday! In 2021, we carried out an exciting excavation in Großmugl, where we documented settlement remains from the #BronzeAge and #IronAge. The #EarlyBronzeAge #pottery included several highlights: vessels decorated with rows of impressions, incised lines, and punctuated dots, some filled with white inlay, like the fragments shown here! #Archaeology #Ceramics #ArchaeologicalFinds #Excavation #EuropeanPrehistory #MaterialCulture #Austria #History #Österreich

  8. Happy #FindsFriday!

    Today I dropped by my local museum and had a squint at their 'Into the West' display (somewhat unceremoniously in the corridor upstairs). It contains some beautiful #finds I worked on earlier this year - a delight to see!

    I made a LEGO model of the Acropolis of Mycenae and submitted it as an Idea for people to vote on. You can go here and do that: ideas.lego.com/projects/e9f662

    What follows are some renderings of the model. #lego #mycenae #bronzeage #afol

  12. When Schliemann excavated #Mycenae's #ShaftTombs, he could only speculate about relationship of people buried there.
